Patent EP-0753328-A3 (EP)
Inventor: VAN STRAATEN WILLEM JOHANNES
IPC: A63B21/055
Filed: 1996-07-12
Abstract: The invention concerns an exercising machine. The machine has a free-standing
support structure with first and second pivotally interconnected legs
(16, 18). Each leg has an upper end and a lower end carrying a foot (20).
The upper end of the second leg (18) is connected pivotally to the first leg
(16) at a position between the upper and lower ends thereof and in an
inoperative storage condition of the machine can be laid alongside the first
leg. A seat (12) which is pivoted to the first leg and can also be stored
compactly alongside that leg. A cross-bar (30) spans across the upper end of
the first leg with end regions of the cross-bar extending outwardly of that
leg. Elastic bands (36) are supported by the end regions of the cross-bar on
either side of the first leg. Pulleys (70, 72, 74) or other guide means are
provided to guide the elastic bands so that they are selectively accessible to
a person seated on the seat at at least two different elevations which are
respectively above and below the seat. This enables the person to perform
different types of exercises by alternately stretching and relaxing the elastic
resistance means against the elastic resistance thereof.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a carrier layer (100) and a
contact (118) enabled by the carrier layer which
enables the fabrication of aluminium (including
aluminum alloys and other conductive material having a
similar melting point) electrical contacts in
multilayer integrated circuit vias, through holes, or
trenches (113) having an aspect ratio greater than
one. In fact, the structure has been shown to enable
such contact fabrication in vias, through holes, and
trenches having aspect ratios as high as at least 5:1,
and should be capable of filing apertures having
aspect ratios up to about 12:1. The carrier layer
(100) in addition to permitting the formation of a
conductive contact at high aspect ratio, provides a
diffusion barrier which prevents the aluminum from
migrating into surrounding substrate material (110)
which operates in conjunction with the electrical
contact. The carrier layer preferably comprises a
layer (112, 114, 116) formed by ionizing the flux of
sputter deposition material, partially reacting the
flux with a gas, and depositing the resulting material
on a substrate.

preferred embodiment each of the subset of pads on the
flip-chip are connected by metalization (204) or
otherwise to probe pads (205) on the periphery of the
flip-chip device. These probe pads are used in a test
device to apply selected signals to the device and test
its performance.

Abstract: A catalytic apparatus for purifying an exhaust gas emitted from a diesel engine
includes a first catalyst, and a second catalyst. The first catalyst is disposed on an
upstream side in an exhaust system of a diesel engine, has a predetermined oxidizing
activity, can crack SOF (i.e., soluble organic fractions) contained in an exhaust gas
emitted from the diesel engine, and is less likely to oxidize SO 2 . The second catalyst
is disposed on a downstream side with respect to the first catalyst in the exhaust
system, has an oxidizing activity higher than that of the first catalyst, and can oxidize
and purify the SOF cracked to low-molecular-weight substances by the first catalyst.
The SOF are cracked by the first catalyst so that they are likely to be oxidized.
Accordingly, the SOF can be oxidized and purified by the second catalyst. Whilst,
SO 2  is not oxidized by the first catalyst. Consequently, SO 2  is less likely to be
oxidized by the second catalyst, because the temperature of the exhaust gas is
decreased. Therefore, sulfates can be inhibited from generating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for transferring a liquid capable of accurately performing detection of a liquid level using a pipetting probe even in a case of a high electric conductivity of a in-flow-passage moving fluid which transmits sucking and discharging operation of a syringe (107) to the pipetting probe (100, 400, 500, 600). The probe has a liquid level sensing electrode (103, 401, 501, 601) and an inner tube (102, 402, 502, 602). The liquid level sensing electrode capable of contacting with a liquid to be pipetted is electrically separated from an inner tube filled with the moving fluid, and the both are insulated by an electric insulating member (104B, 403, 503) between them. A container (111) containing the liquid to be pipetted is held by a container holder (112), and a liquid level can be detected by change in an electrostatic capacitance between the container holder and the liquid level sensing electrode of the probe when the probe is moved downward. During sucking the liquid, the inner tube is not brought in contact with the liquid. The inner tube and the container holder are grounded. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A stopper assembly (200) having by-pass features for use in a multi-chamber syringe barrel (100).
The stopper assembly includes a sequential stopper body (201) responsive to fluid forces for enabling
the sequential delivery of disparate contents, such as disparate fluids, separately held in the
syringe barrel. The sequential stopper body has a generally cylindrical sidewall (202) with a distal
end (206), a proximal end (204) and a longitudinal axis (208) therethrough. The stopper assembly also includes a
generally cylindrical flow channelizer (225) mounted to the distal end (206) of the sequential stopper body (201).
The flow channelizer (225) enables the reconstitution of dry medicament (M) held in the syringe barrel (100)
distally of the flow channelizer. The flow channelizer features opposed proximal and distal
ends (226,228) and a generally cylindrical outer surface therebetween. At least one fluid flow channel (238)
extends between the proximal and distal ends of a flow channelizer. A distally directed,
conically-shaped projection (230) is located at the distal end (228) of the flow channelizer to prevent the
accumulation of dead space between the channelizer and the internal shoulder (302) located at the
distal end of the syringe barrel. The stopper assembly may be employed in a multi-chambered
syringe barrel featuring a by-pass channel (112) to permit fluids to pass distally of the stopper
assembly. The multi-barreled syringe barrel can be separated into disparate chambers (132,134) by one or
more by-pass stoppers (120) so as to contain disparate components (D,F) intended for sequential delivery
by the stopper assembly.
